Cut Stevie, Mario, and Byrd to get to #1!

:dance2:

[YardRat]

Will be interesting to see what Whaley does in free agency this off season.

[clumping platelets]

Can't cut Byrd..........he does not count on the 2014 cap

Mario has a cap number of $18-19 million because of a huge roster bonus........treat it as a signing bonus and gain even more cap space.

Wonder if those numbers include carryover cap space from 2013.........cant read those article yet

Cut Stevie, Mario, and Byrd to get to #1!

If cut, Stevie and Mario combine to around $30 million in dead cap space.

[SpikedLemonade]

Speaking of dead cap space, I'm sure Ralph is not going to allow his internal salary cap of $20M below the actual ceiling to be exceeded.

You're not thinking long term

And everyone was hating on Miami regarding the cap last offseason...

Dawn Aponte is the ****...

The Fins signed a number of players to one year contracts this year.

They won't count against the cap next year but they won't be on the Fins either unless resigned.

[DynaPaul]

Demote Stevie. Keep Mario and Byrd. We need OL, TE, WR, LB, and CB help. And draft another QB later on.

How many did they sign to 1 year contracts? Grimes and Clabo? Who else?

[Bangarang]

So you're advocating that unproven rookies give us a better chance to be successful?

who do you suggest we get that can replace the production of Stevie and Mario?

[The Jokeman]

Dustin Keller is the only other guy I can think of.

Stevie? Any 2.5-3rd string NFL WR.

Dustin Keller. And Reshad Jones, Randy Starks & Paul Solia will be free agents as well.

That is 6 good players there that will eat into the cap if resigned.

Dustin Keller is another one that was signed to a 1 year deal. I had forgot about him, but we haven't had him for a single game all season so it's hard to call him a "loss".

Reshad Jones was extended. He'll be a Fin for a while. Soliai and Starks (franchise tag) are expiring. One will be kept, prob Soliai, to pair with Odrick long term...

Every team has a couple FAs. We are no different...

Well, you could have used Keller this year. If the Fins don't sign him next year, I would be happy if the Bills did, even with his injuries.

And what about Grimes & Clabo?

[FinNasty23]

With the emergence of Clay... I have no problem letting Keller walk. I see us retaining Grimes and Soliai, and letting Starks and Clabo walk. For the record... Clabo can NOT be described as a "good" player, lol.

Well, Mario ate Clabo alive but where would you be now without him?

Especially since it is doubtful Martin or his bully will play for the Fins again.

If the Fins get a good OT in the offseason, could Clabo be moved inside?

If Clabo was retained, he couldn't command much more than the vet min.

Well, if the Fins do win the next two games & get into the playoffs, Clabo's price goes up.

Then someone else can pay it, lol. I can't believe that personnel people who are evaluating his film would pay him a significant amount of money based on the teams success while trying to mask his deficiencies as much as possible.

[Skooby]

I think you guys in a cold rain & a sparse crowd will have a good chance to win this week.

Just because the game did not sell out does not mean the crowd will be sparse.

Like I said, I expect many more people at this game than there were in Jax last week.

No one wants to get sick for a Christmas, mid 40's & rain is a formula for illness. I put a 10,000 ZB bounty on that attendance number, please feel free to call it there.

How often is the weatherman right?

About as often as me predicting the score, attendence correct.
